Most ads are so transparent trying to use emotions as tools to wretch the money from you that they are insulting. No car will make you sexy. No hotel will make you intelligent. It a company resorts to this kind of emotional appeal, then their product must be worthless because they are afraid to present the product to you. Harsh, yes I am. Just tell me about your product, advertisers!

Eh, I pretty much ignore them when they're around this site, my email, etc. The ones on tv can get a little annoying, but hey, it's just a minute of stuff. XD When I'm watching something, I just mute it and do something else in a different tab until I think it's over.

I don't like advertisements, but they do have a purpose (Example A Being this very website we're on right now). That's why I'm subscribed to Crunchyroll (even if their flashplayer sucks complete ass), I still want to support them and enjoy their flawless 1080P anime. I think the website I can't stand the most is YouTube for advertisements. My beliefs for YouTube ads are if you choose to make a living out of YouTube, that's completely your choice. But don't expect your viewers to sit through your advertisements. There's a reason why Adblock is legal. Sure you can call those people assholes or whatever, but in the end, there are people that will sit through the advertisements and there are people who will not. For paid services that have a free option however (I.E Funimation, Crunchyroll, etc.), I will not use AdBlock simply because they are giving you a choice. Where as YouTube they're not.

video ads get on my nerves, and sometimes i find myself getting frightened by some of them because one second they'll just be there and it'll be all "oh, okay. it isn't auto playing so i'm all good." and que the loud sounds/music, voice, what have you and naturally i'll jump. i'll be like, where the hell did that come from.
